SAT Score Calculator

The SAT has two sections, each scored from 200 to 800: Reading and Writing (54 questions in two modules) and Math (44 questions in two modules). Your total is the sum, from 400 to 1600.

The test is adaptive: how you do in the first module of each section decides whether your second module is easier or harder. College Board scores the test with a method that accounts for question difficulty, and it doesn't publish a simple table from correct answers to scores.

The calculator uses an approximate curve from the share of questions you answered correctly, and shows a likely range of about 40 points either side for each section. Treat it as a guide to track progress between practice tests, not as an official score.

For an official practice score, take a full-length practice test in College Board's Bluebook app. For extra practice, try our free SAT practice test, with every answer explained.

A good score is one that fits the colleges you're applying to. Most colleges list the middle 50% range of their admitted students' scores: scoring in or above that range makes your score a strength. Set that as your target above to see how many more correct answers you need.
